Hints to Consnmptiyes.

Consumptives should use food as nourIshiny
as can he had, and in a shape that will best
agree with tho stomach and taste of the pa
tient.
Outdoor exercise is earnestly ecommended
II you arc unable to take such exercise OH
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you
should take exercise in q carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause eXpectoration must
be avoided. For five hundre years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
u ing them, and have failed. Where there IL
great arrangement Of the secrctions, with
engagement Of a~ir-cells, there Is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and tho arrangement
of the secreticns, and consequently land in
this way only diminishes the amount of mat
ter e1pectorated. This medicine does not dry
up a cough, but removes the cause of 1t.

causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart

Various trials of tho new French horse

the experiments are therefore regarded
as very satisfactory, horses thus shod
having been driven at a rapid pace on
such p%avemcnts without slipping. B.
sides this advantage, the new shoe is
spoken of as more durable, and, though
a little more expensive than the ordinary
kind, seems destined sooner or later to
replace the iron shoe.

THE ONE MILL TAX.

There is much being said in the
newspapers about the one mill tax au-
thorized by the legislature two years
ago, to be levied on the taxable proper
ty in the various counties in the state,
to aid in The support of public schools.
Great pains have lately been taken to
compile statements of the amount coll
lected in each county, under the one
mill tax, and the amount which each
county has received in the distribution
of the school fund. Now all this fig
uring which of the counties gain most
or which lose most by the one mill tax
is not applicable to the question. The
maintenance of the free school system
is based on the taxable property of the
state The principle accepted on the
adoption of our state constitution was
that the assessable property of the
state is under obligation to educate
the children of the state. 1t was on
this issue the friends of free schools
went before the people at the time our
state constitution was presented for
adoption. The objection vas then
raised by large class of tax payers
"Why should we who have no children
to educate be taxed to educate our
neighbors' children p" This objection.
which by many was thought to have
force, years ago dwindled into insig-
nificance. The matter as to which
county receives the largest appropria.
ton from the general school fund has
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1887-02-04

nothing whatever to do with the ques-
ton of taxation. There is no greater
inequality in the one mill tax for the
support of common schools than any
other given per cent of tax for the
support of state government. At the
time of the adoption OF the state con-
stitution in 1s4s there were very few
states in the Union that had adopted
the principle of free schools, support
ing them on taxable property, and at
the same time doing way with rate
bills for tuition. It seems TO many OF
the friends 0. public schools that the
repeal of the one mill tax, because OF
alleged inequalities in different coun-
ties, would be departure from one OF
the fundamental principles upon which
our free school system rests.

THE LABOR QUESTION.


Tie labor question will not down
but will continue to be agitated until
some more satisfactory solution il
reached. Lit is a subject in which the
people of the country and in the rural
districts take less interest because
they are not so directly affected by it
It is in the cities and the manufacture.
ing towns where the labor question is
uppermost, and which is the theme OF
constant discussion, and more or less
agitation. Whatever theories may be
advanced, those which will best bear
the test of practical experience will
probably be adopted. The Nelson
Manufacturing Company in st. Louis,
it is claimed, has made the experiment
of proft-sharing of labor with capital
on quite extended scale, and has
found its workings acceptable to en-
ployers and employed. Where this re-
suit is attained, there is no danger OF
strikes, or conflicting interests be-
tween labor and capital. The general
outline of the plan has been given be.
fore, and we need not give details
now. but state some of the leading
points, and the intelligent reader
can readily supply the omission of de-
tails.
Capital is essential for carrying on
any mechanical OF industrial enter
prise; capitalists are comparatively
few; laborers are many; the one class
cannot well do without the other
therefore their interests should be mu-
tual. For establishing manufacture
ing enterprise the capitalist should
furnish the money and be allowed a
fair per cent thereon; also a reason
able salary for his time, services and
business experience. The working
men should be allowed wages accord.

and the number of hours per day

now. At the end of the year, or time
agreed upon, the net profits, after de.

ses, to be divided between the capital
invested and the working men on the
basis of total wages paid. The report
of the st. Louis company concludes as
follows:
"The company has just declared
dividend, the employees getting.5 per
cent on their wages and the proprie.
tors corresponding amount on capital
The scheme involves, besides these
features already stated relief, and in
surance fund, and surplus fund to be
set aside for years when business is
bad, 1t looks like a great success

YOUNG MEN AND THE
CHURCHES.

Much attention, in Milwaukee, has
recently been turned to the statistics
gathered, showing. the small attend
ance Of young men on Sunday church
services in that city. The total popu-
lation of Milwaukee is put at 175,0O0.
There are 81 churches of all denomin-
atoms in the city, of which IS are
Catholic. From statistics gathered by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, it appears there are $4,000 men in
the city between the ages of IS and 40,
and of these only So are members of
English.speaking Protestant churches.
The newspapers of the city have COM
mented variously on these statistics,
but none have suggested satisfactory
explanation. 1t is true Milwaukee has
a larger foreign-speaking population
than any other western city, which
may partially account for the existing
facts, but the remedy is not indicated.
Recurring to the subject Of church at
tendance, Boston people have just
adopted a method to ascertain what
class of persons are not church-goers
in that city. Some Of the most distin-
guished clergymen have been engaged
to preach in Faneuil Hall on Sunday
evenings. Rev. Phillips Brooks was
the first preacher on the list; free
tickets were given all who desired to
attend, except church members and
those who are in the practice of attend
ing church regularly. The result was
Faneuil Hall was filled by an audience
rather unlike in appearance the COM
mon Sunday congregations in dress
and manners, but quite respectable
and attentive. The conclusion from
the experiment is, that there are great
numbers of people who would go to
church were they sure to hear preach
ers of superior talent. This fact, how.
ever, does not solve the problem how
to reach the non.church geers. The
great preachers, so called, are few.

charge his duty, although it is evident
he will have his hands full. The pres
emit laws have not been efficient, be-
cause the penalties have been too light.
Many stout-hearted polygamist will
endure a six months Imprisonment
rather than submit to law, but a three
years term would loom up as punish
ment more formidable.
Four-ffths Of the population of
Utah are Mormons, and nearly all the
municipal and county officers, sheriffs,
probate judges, etc, are OF that sect.
and consequently inimical to the
United States laws, and every facility
for escape or evasion of the penalties
have been afforded to the offenders.
1t is probable that the condition of af-
fairs will now be changed.
Although Utah is the most promi-
nent territory in Mormonism against
which the provisions ot the bill are
aimed, the territories Of Wyoming,
Idaho, Nevada and Arizona contain
large Norman population, to which the
penalties of polygamy are equally APP
plicable.
This sect, which was organized into
a church in 1880, has, by PROSECUTING
and immigration, so far increased that
some of the ambitious leaders have
boosted that it was but question of
few years when they would hold the
balance Of political power, and would
dictate to the nation what should or
should not be.
Joseph Smith, the prominent found
er of the hierarchy, was native of
Vermont, and it is but fitting that Ed
munds, of Vermont, should be promi-
nent in dealing death blow to the
hideous system. d.
